  1. Sorry to hear about your helmit (assuming thats what really happened and you weren't just giving Bernie an excuse so you could buy that new one you were looking at) Glad you made the trip Ok though and don't forget to take notes cause I will be picking your brain for when I go in Aug.
  2. This is what I used to completly rebuild all the smashed plastic on my bike after my accident in 2008. I even made one good panel out of two bad ones with it, and reassembled pieces like a jigsaw puzzel. http://plastex.net/ use fiberglass cloth to reinforce on the inside. You also do not need to use spot filler because this stuff does it all it will sand as smooth as the original. P/S don't worry about praportions the stuff is idiot proof, and if you fold a piece of cellephane tape over your finger it smooths out real nice.
  3. I just happend to catch this in the Burlington Post and thought I would post it for anyone that may be interested. It takes place July 17 starts and finishes at 271 6th concession road east i Flamborough Ont. Register on line at www.uppercan400.com by Thur july 15.
  4. BLACK CHERRY and BURGANDY
  5. Hate to break this to ya Wayne ---but Somehow I get the feeling he would prefer sharing the trailer with Naugh-T Nice Trailer Brad and Rhonda hope you get lots of enjoyment out of it.
  6. CHARLIE the rubber between the cord strands DOES NOT COUNT
  7. My self I am quite happy to stick with the carbs. I find the bike functions just fine as it is and carbs are much more shade tree mechanic friendly. Carb issues are usually much easier to deal with, fuel injection issues are often expensive repairs and often diagnostic headaches.
  8. Besides 1st its cupcake , next it will become powder-puff ----were will it end
  9. :bang head: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :bang head: Is that "MASSENGEL DOUCHE" or "MASSENGILL DOUCHE " ? PS No criticism intended here, just curious if it is a spelling error or if they are in fact 2 different brands.
  10. Thats the beauty of this homemade concoction the smell very seldom comes back when the dog gets wet. As mentioned earlier however time is a factor , the sooner the better.
  11. Ok!! so now that my dog has been sprayed by a skunk for about the eleventh time, :bang head: I thought for those of you that own dogs, I would post the recipe that I use ( and have found to be the best non-commercial wash I have used so far) to de-skunk my dogs. I have done the tomato juice,yuk thing. I have done the coke and pepsi thing (a little better), but none so far have worked as well. NOTE ! I usually find that mixing 1/4 of the amount seems to be enough for an average size 50-60 lb dog. 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide ¼ cup baking soda 1 teaspoon of strong liquid soap such as dishwashing detergent. (polmolive or sunlight work well here) Mix the ingredients in an open bucket or bowl. The mixture will fizz. Wet your dog and thoroughly massage the solution into the coat. Be sure to keep the mixture out of the dogs eyes, nose and mouth. If it is necessary to apply it to the dogs face, very carefully use a washcloth or a sponge. After applying the mixture to all parts of your dog that may have been sprayed, rinse the dog thoroughly. *Warning* This mixture can be explosive, as it will fizz and creates pressure if it is enclosed in a seal tight container. Never store unused portion, always discard. Be sure to only mix in an open container and do not try to store or cover it in any way. Do not get the mixture into the dog's eyes, nose or mouth.
  12. You forgot, I axe him why for ? :banana:
  13. The insurance won't include the beer in the claim due to the fact that there is apparently no proof as to how much was actually in the bottle prior to the quake.:bang head:
  14. Total cost of damages 15 cents http://by142w.bay142.mail.live.com/att/GetAttachment.aspx?tnail=0&messageId=bce1a54a-804e-11df-abf3-00237de3f51c&Aux=44|0|8CCE272A8870F50||
  15. Not until y'all wrote that thar long epataph EH
  16. I was sitting in a dentists chair at the time and did not feel a thing but when I got to work apparently everyone there felt it.
  17. Both ways sound good to me
  18. Maybe thats how it comes out when you got a southern accent "A" Y'All :rotfl:
  19. When I take a vacation ride it's not so much about the miles as it is about what there is to see along the way otherwise you may as well ride with blinders on. Of course its different if you have a specific destination in mind and want to figure out when you will get there.
  20. Good luck to your daughter hope all goes well with her and her baby
  21. Knowing now that Charlie was givin away free beer at freebirds really makes me feel bad i was not able to go. I'll just have to go up to Garson and get my share.
  22. My son and his wife just had a new Baby boy. his name is Micheal Luke. He came in 1 & 1/2 months early at 5 lbs 6 ozs. Meet my new grandson
  23. I like you Don, but I gotta say ----its a good thing you aint no fish, cause you wouldn't last long,---- you just take the bait way to easy:rotfl::rotfl:
  24. Congrats on buying the bike. You will find on this site all the help you will need, there is almost always some one here that knows something and collectivly I think it would be safe to say if it can,t be found here it probably hasn't happened. Even if the plastic isn't perfect it is not a write off , as there are products such as plastx that performe great. My own bike was written off in an accident 2 years ago, I bought it back off the insurance companyand 3/4's of the plastic I repaired instead of replaceing and the bike looks better now than before the accident.
